I'm going to keep this review short.

The beginning of this book was so hard to get through for me and I almost dnf'ed it. The main character, Janelle, had no backbone for most of the book and was pulled in every possible direction by everyone in this book at least once. I get that things were confusing and she was trying to figure out this new life, but this girl really didnt have a single braincell for herself until the last quarter of the book.

I was NOT planning on reading the next book but the last quarter of this book saved it and I may actually pick book 2 up. The last part of this book, Janelle finally takes matters into her own hands and defeated the big bad.

The plot of this book is actually pretty unique and I hadn't read anything like it so that is what attracted me to this. The way it was executed could have been better but after reading the end, it wasn't too bad.
